I find sharing my barn — a room for keeping my animals — with swallows (燕) a stressful yet favored experience. Each time I enter the barn, swallows scream out, forcing me to turn sideways wildly in panic to avoid collisions (碰撞). These overreactions risk pulled muscles, injured ankles, or hit heads.
I often wonder: if swallows can fly to and from South Africa, finding last year’s nests, why can’t they adapt to my barn-entering routine I insist I’ve never done anything to threaten them, and quiet coexistence would benefit us all.
I prefer swallows to fly out on my entry. Their flying about in my vision disturbs me. This year, a pair returned early, on March 30th, observing their house during lambing—much to the mother sheep’s annoyance, as they put up with frequent fly-pasts mid-birth.
Swallows seek unsafe nesting spots. One year, they nested sensibly on a disused wooden support. But for their second nest, they built on a flat, unsupported wall, which I thought “unengineered”. Last year, the situation worsened. Instead of the typical cup-shaped mud nest, they constructed a flatter, straw-cobbled structure on the ledge (壁架) above an inner doorway. This design failed to contain the chickens as a cup would, leaving them in constant danger of falling out and then suffering an eight-foot drop onto the concrete.
This year, I anxiously awaited the nest’s location. Hoping they’d pick the wooden support, I was worried when they chose the ledge. Now, entering the barn brings “double danger”: first, ducking and diving to avoid head-on swallow collisions; second, nervously walking under the nest, praying the chickens stay put and don’t fall to the floor.
Sharing the barn with swallows is clearly an experience to value. But honestly, I doubt they grasp how totally nervous it feels for me, a human, going through these daily interactions.
4. What is the author’s main problem when entering the barn
A. Swallows’ wild attack. B. Swallows’ loud screams.
C. Cleaning up swallow droppings. D. Risking injury while avoiding swallows.
5. What can be inferred about the swallows’ nesting choices
A. They never reuse old nests. B. They sometimes pick risky locations.
C. They prefer building nests near sheep. D. They can easily adapt to human routines.
6. Why was the author worried this year
A. The chickens in the nest grew too fast. B. There were more swallows than before.
C. Swallows chose an unsafe nesting place again. D. The mother sheep couldn’t tolerate the swallows.
7. What is the author’s overall attitude towards swallows
A. Complicated. B. Doubtful. C. Annoyed. D. Ignorant.
C
The amount of spent lithium-ion (锂离子) batteries that need handling is expected to increase from an estimate of 900,000 metric tons this year to 20.5 million metric tons by 2040, according to a report released by the United Nations Development Program last September.
With consumer markets and waste piles both growing rapidly, Yue Gao, a chemist at Fudan University in Shanghai, and his group anticipated a rising demand for longer-life lithium-ion batteries. An electric vehicle (EV) battery usually reaches the end of its lifetime, or when its capacity drops below 80 percent of its original level, after about eight to 10 years. The battery accounts for around 40 percent of the cost of the entire vehicle.
They used an artificial intelligence model trained on the rules of chemistry. They fed it a database of electrochemical reactions and had it look for molecules (分子) that would meet their requirements, such as mixing well in an electrolyte solution and being relatively cheap to produce. The model recommended three candidates, and the team identified one of them, a salt called LiSO2CF3, as ideal.
The researchers tested this lithium-ion salt by mixing it in an electrolyte solution, which allows ions to pass between a cell’s positive and negative terminals (端子). Gao likens this to giving a human patient an Ⅳ (输液). “If we can give a shot to a sick person to help them recover,” he says, “why can’t we have a magic medicine for dead batteries, too ”
Gao and his colleagues found that the chemical mixture could significantly prolong the lifespan of a lithium iron phosphate (LFP) battery cell. An LFP battery that powers an EV can typically be charged and then discharged about 2,000 times before it is considered “dead” (when its capacity is below the 80 percent mark). By adding the electrolyte whenever the battery neared that point, the team was able to restore most of the cell’s capacity each time — and it carried on working almost as well as a new battery. By the end of the experiment, the cell regained 96 percent capacity after nearly 12,000 charge-discharge cycles.
8. What motivated the Gao group to develop the new battery technology
A. The limited supply of lithium resources.
B. The high cost of recycling used batteries.
C. The small capacity of current EV batteries.
D. The increasing demand for longer-lasting batteries.
9. Why did the researchers use an artificial intelligence model
A. To speed up the battery charging process.
B. To calculate the cost of producing new batteries.
C. To select suitable molecules for battery improvement.
D. To analyze the environmental impact of battery waste.
10. What does the underlined word “likens” in paragraph 4 probably mean
A. Compares. B. removes. C. Attaches. D. Improves.
11. What change will the technology probably bring about
A. Updated EV batteries lasting forever. B. Cost decrease in producing LiSO2CF3.
C. Less frequency of EV battery replacement. D. Traditional LFP batteries off the market.
D
In 2014, Harvard and the University of Virginia researchers had people sit alone with thoughts for 15 minutes, with a painful shock button as the only distraction (分心的事). Nearly half pressed it, even those who’d said they’d pay to avoid shocks. This showed people often prefer doing over thinking—minds may wander to unwanted places otherwise.
Today, smartphones are modern “shock buttons”. They break up boredom instantly, offering escape in quiet or anxious moments. While not always bad (too much thinking is unhealthy), they’ve made avoiding unwanted mind-wandering easy. Most use phones to fill stillness, relying on similar screen-based distractions.
Smartphones also push “productivity” muters (通勤者) once stared out windows or read; now, they catch up on emails to avoid guilt. But “doing nothing” isn’t a waste, because minds work hard then. What happens to half-formed thoughts when we instantly pull out phones
Psychologists see boredom as useful. Like hunger, it signals a need for change. Erin Westgate says we get bored if tasks don’t engage or seem meaningless. Sudoku games can absorb without meaning; a repeated Peppa Pig story might feel meaningful. True boredom, say watching paint dry, is unstimulating and rare.
Boredom should promote engaging and meaningful acts. Ignore it, and lasting boredom follows—linked to depression and anxiety. Since smartphones rose, lasting boredom has grown. Studies show students in China and the US report more boredom post-2010. We use phones to relieve boredom, but it backfires: checking socials worsens it. Bored workers reach for phones more, and then feel emptier.
Digital devices grab attention but lack depth. We plan five-minute checks, but get lost in unimportant details for hours. Americans spend 4+ hours daily on phones, 7+ online—wasting 17 adult years. Even tech lovers know this isn’t living.
Phone’s surface stimulation misses hard questions: “Why feel this ” “What’s needed ” When bored, resist instant relief. Accepting boredom briefly can reduce it. Ask yourself: entertainment, or purpose-connecting adventure, trying new things It might start a more stimulating, meaningful, and creative life.
12. What did Harvard and the University of Virginia experiment reveal
A. People tend to choose action over thinking.
B. People prefer being alone with their thoughts.
C. Most participants preferred to avoid electric shocks.
D. Half of the participants paid to skip the experiment.
13. What does the author illustrate by mentioning “Sudoku games” and “Peppa Pig story”
A. Meaningful tasks never cause boredom.
B. Different activities relieve boredom differently.
C. Some activities are both engaging and meaningful.
D. Boredom results from lack of engagement or meaning.
14. What is the possible result of using smartphones to relieve boredom
A. Short-term peace. B. Focused attention.
C. Long-term boredom. D. Failing mental health.
15. Which of the following serves as the best title for the text
A. Phones: A cure for Boredom, Not a Quick Fix B. Accept Boredom Instead of Phone Distractions
C. Boredom: A Signal, Not Something to Flee D. Escape Boredom Wisely, Not with Phones

47. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
On a small, beautiful coastal island, Lily, a 12-year-old girl, shared her life with her loving family and Coco, a rescued monkey with a playful light in his eyes. Lily found Coco as an injured baby monkey two years ago and nursed him back to health. Since then, the two had been inseparable, exploring the island’s thick forests and sandy beaches together.
One seemingly ordinary morning, as the sun cast a warm glow over the island, Lily and Coco were playing near the shore. Suddenly, Coco’s playful manner disappeared. His fur (软毛) stood on end, and he let out sharp cries. The usually calm monkey started pulling at Lily’s shirt with an urgency she had never seen before, his eyes wide with fear as he pointed towards the sea.
Lily looked out and was shocked. The water was falling at an alarming rate, exposing the ocean floor and leaving fish flopping (扑腾) helplessly. Remembering the tsunami (海啸) warnings from school, she felt a cold feeling run down her body. Without wasting a second, she grabbed Coco and started running towards the village, her heart pounding in her chest. Coco swung from branch to branch above her, screaming loudly to catch the villagers’ attention. Their combined efforts finally woke the sleepy town, and people began rushing to higher ground.
As the massive waves crashed onto the island, Lily and her family crowded in a strong hilltop house. But after two days, their food and clean water supplies were almost gone. Everyone was weak and scared. Coco, who had been quietly observing, suddenly jumped out of the window and disappeared into the forest.
Hours passed, and Lily began to worry. She paced restlessly around the room, her mind filled with terrifying thoughts. What if Coco had gotten lost in the dense forest Or what if he had encountered some wild animals Each passing minute felt like a life, and her anxiety grew with every tick of the clock.

【47 题答案】
【答案】One possible version:
Surprisingly, Coco returned, his fur dirty but his eyes determined. He proudly dropped a pile of wild fruits at Lily’s feet and presented a small gourd (葫芦) filled with fresh water he had found in a hidden mountain stream. Over the next few days, the clever monkey made several more trips, risking his life to find food and water for the family. Lily noticed that Coco was growing weaker with each passing day. She carefully divided the small amount of food and water, making sure he ate his share. She would sit beside him, gently brushing his fur and whispering words of comfort.
Finally, a rescue team arrived, surprised by their survival. Lily clutched Coco tightly, tears streaming down her face. “He’s family,” she told the rescuers firmly, and they agreed to take Coco with them. Back on the mainland, as the islanders slowly rebuilt their homes, Lily and Coco’s story spread far and wide. Their extraordinary bond, strengthened in the face of disaster, became a powerful testament to the mutual support between humans and animals.

I find sharing my barn — a room for keeping my animals — with swallows (燕) a stressful yet favored experience. Each time I enter the barn, swallows scream out, forcing me to turn sideways wildly in panic to avoid collisions (碰撞). These overreactions risk pulled muscles, injured ankles, or hit heads.
I often wonder: if swallows can fly to and from South Africa, finding last year’s nests, why can’t they adapt to my barn-entering routine I insist I’ve never done anything to threaten them, and quiet coexistence would benefit us all.
I prefer swallows to fly out on my entry. Their flying about in my vision disturbs me. This year, a pair returned early, on March 30th, observing their house during lambing—much to the mother sheep’s annoyance, as they put up with frequent fly-pasts mid-birth.
Swallows seek unsafe nesting spots. One year, they nested sensibly on a disused wooden support. But for their second nest, they built on a flat, unsupported wall, which I thought “unengineered”. Last year, the situation worsened. Instead of the typical cup-shaped mud nest, they constructed a flatter, straw-cobbled structure on the ledge (壁架) above an inner doorway. This design failed to contain the chickens as a cup would, leaving them in constant danger of falling out and then suffering an eight-foot drop onto the concrete.
This year, I anxiously awaited the nest’s location. Hoping they’d pick the wooden support, I was worried when they chose the ledge. Now, entering the barn brings “double danger”: first, ducking and diving to avoid head-on swallow collisions; second, nervously walking under the nest, praying the chickens stay put and don’t fall to the floor.
Sharing the barn with swallows is clearly an experience to value. But honestly, I doubt they grasp how totally nervous it feels for me, a human, going through these daily interactions.
4. What is the author’s main problem when entering the barn
A. Swallows’ wild attack. B. Swallows’ loud screams.
C. Cleaning up swallow droppings. D. Risking injury while avoiding swallows.
5. What can be inferred about the swallows’ nesting choices
A. They never reuse old nests. B. They sometimes pick risky locations.
C. They prefer building nests near sheep. D. They can easily adapt to human routines.
6. Why was the author worried this year
A. The chickens in the nest grew too fast. B. There were more swallows than before.
C. Swallows chose an unsafe nesting place again. D. The mother sheep couldn’t tolerate the swallows.
7. What is the author’s overall attitude towards swallows
A. Complicated. B. Doubtful. C. Annoyed. D. Ignorant.
C
The amount of spent lithium-ion (锂离子) batteries that need handling is expected to increase from an estimate of 900,000 metric tons this year to 20.5 million metric tons by 2040, according to a report released by the United Nations Development Program last September.
With consumer markets and waste piles both growing rapidly, Yue Gao, a chemist at Fudan University in Shanghai, and his group anticipated a rising demand for longer-life lithium-ion batteries. An electric vehicle (EV) battery usually reaches the end of its lifetime, or when its capacity drops below 80 percent of its original level, after about eight to 10 years. The battery accounts for around 40 percent of the cost of the entire vehicle.
They used an artificial intelligence model trained on the rules of chemistry. They fed it a database of electrochemical reactions and had it look for molecules (分子) that would meet their requirements, such as mixing well in an electrolyte solution and being relatively cheap to produce. The model recommended three candidates, and the team identified one of them, a salt called LiSO2CF3, as ideal.
The researchers tested this lithium-ion salt by mixing it in an electrolyte solution, which allows ions to pass between a cell’s positive and negative terminals (端子). Gao likens this to giving a human patient an Ⅳ (输液). “If we can give a shot to a sick person to help them recover,” he says, “why can’t we have a magic medicine for dead batteries, too ”
Gao and his colleagues found that the chemical mixture could significantly prolong the lifespan of a lithium iron phosphate (LFP) battery cell. An LFP battery that powers an EV can typically be charged and then discharged about 2,000 times before it is considered “dead” (when its capacity is below the 80 percent mark). By adding the electrolyte whenever the battery neared that point, the team was able to restore most of the cell’s capacity each time — and it carried on working almost as well as a new battery. By the end of the experiment, the cell regained 96 percent capacity after nearly 12,000 charge-discharge cycles.
8. What motivated the Gao group to develop the new battery technology
A. The limited supply of lithium resources.
B. The high cost of recycling used batteries.
C. The small capacity of current EV batteries.
D. The increasing demand for longer-lasting batteries.
9. Why did the researchers use an artificial intelligence model
A. To speed up the battery charging process.
B. To calculate the cost of producing new batteries.
C. To select suitable molecules for battery improvement.
D. To analyze the environmental impact of battery waste.
10. What does the underlined word “likens” in paragraph 4 probably mean
A. Compares. B. removes. C. Attaches. D. Improves.
11. What change will the technology probably bring about
A. Updated EV batteries lasting forever. B. Cost decrease in producing LiSO2CF3.
C. Less frequency of EV battery replacement. D. Traditional LFP batteries off the market.
D
In 2014, Harvard and the University of Virginia researchers had people sit alone with thoughts for 15 minutes, with a painful shock button as the only distraction (分心的事). Nearly half pressed it, even those who’d said they’d pay to avoid shocks. This showed people often prefer doing over thinking—minds may wander to unwanted places otherwise.
Today, smartphones are modern “shock buttons”. They break up boredom instantly, offering escape in quiet or anxious moments. While not always bad (too much thinking is unhealthy), they’ve made avoiding unwanted mind-wandering easy. Most use phones to fill stillness, relying on similar screen-based distractions.
Smartphones also push “productivity” muters (通勤者) once stared out windows or read; now, they catch up on emails to avoid guilt. But “doing nothing” isn’t a waste, because minds work hard then. What happens to half-formed thoughts when we instantly pull out phones
Psychologists see boredom as useful. Like hunger, it signals a need for change. Erin Westgate says we get bored if tasks don’t engage or seem meaningless. Sudoku games can absorb without meaning; a repeated Peppa Pig story might feel meaningful. True boredom, say watching paint dry, is unstimulating and rare.
Boredom should promote engaging and meaningful acts. Ignore it, and lasting boredom follows—linked to depression and anxiety. Since smartphones rose, lasting boredom has grown. Studies show students in China and the US report more boredom post-2010. We use phones to relieve boredom, but it backfires: checking socials worsens it. Bored workers reach for phones more, and then feel emptier.
Digital devices grab attention but lack depth. We plan five-minute checks, but get lost in unimportant details for hours. Americans spend 4+ hours daily on phones, 7+ online—wasting 17 adult years. Even tech lovers know this isn’t living.
Phone’s surface stimulation misses hard questions: “Why feel this ” “What’s needed ” When bored, resist instant relief. Accepting boredom briefly can reduce it. Ask yourself: entertainment, or purpose-connecting adventure, trying new things It might start a more stimulating, meaningful, and creative life.
12. What did Harvard and the University of Virginia experiment reveal
A. People tend to choose action over thinking.
B. People prefer being alone with their thoughts.
C. Most participants preferred to avoid electric shocks.
D. Half of the participants paid to skip the experiment.
13. What does the author illustrate by mentioning “Sudoku games” and “Peppa Pig story”
A. Meaningful tasks never cause boredom.
B. Different activities relieve boredom differently.
C. Some activities are both engaging and meaningful.
D. Boredom results from lack of engagement or meaning.
14. What is the possible result of using smartphones to relieve boredom
A. Short-term peace. B. Focused attention.
C. Long-term boredom. D. Failing mental health.
15. Which of the following serves as the best title for the text
A. Phones: A cure for Boredom, Not a Quick Fix B. Accept Boredom Instead of Phone Distractions
C. Boredom: A Signal, Not Something to Flee D. Escape Boredom Wisely, Not with Phones

47. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
On a small, beautiful coastal island, Lily, a 12-year-old girl, shared her life with her loving family and Coco, a rescued monkey with a playful light in his eyes. Lily found Coco as an injured baby monkey two years ago and nursed him back to health. Since then, the two had been inseparable, exploring the island’s thick forests and sandy beaches together.
One seemingly ordinary morning, as the sun cast a warm glow over the island, Lily and Coco were playing near the shore. Suddenly, Coco’s playful manner disappeared. His fur (软毛) stood on end, and he let out sharp cries. The usually calm monkey started pulling at Lily’s shirt with an urgency she had never seen before, his eyes wide with fear as he pointed towards the sea.
Lily looked out and was shocked. The water was falling at an alarming rate, exposing the ocean floor and leaving fish flopping (扑腾) helplessly. Remembering the tsunami (海啸) warnings from school, she felt a cold feeling run down her body. Without wasting a second, she grabbed Coco and started running towards the village, her heart pounding in her chest. Coco swung from branch to branch above her, screaming loudly to catch the villagers’ attention. Their combined efforts finally woke the sleepy town, and people began rushing to higher ground.
As the massive waves crashed onto the island, Lily and her family crowded in a strong hilltop house. But after two days, their food and clean water supplies were almost gone. Everyone was weak and scared. Coco, who had been quietly observing, suddenly jumped out of the window and disappeared into the forest.
Hours passed, and Lily began to worry. She paced restlessly around the room, her mind filled with terrifying thoughts. What if Coco had gotten lost in the dense forest Or what if he had encountered some wild animals Each passing minute felt like a life, and her anxiety grew with every tick of the clock.

【答案】One possible version:
Surprisingly, Coco returned, his fur dirty but his eyes determined. He proudly dropped a pile of wild fruits at Lily’s feet and presented a small gourd (葫芦) filled with fresh water he had found in a hidden mountain stream. Over the next few days, the clever monkey made several more trips, risking his life to find food and water for the family. Lily noticed that Coco was growing weaker with each passing day. She carefully divided the small amount of food and water, making sure he ate his share. She would sit beside him, gently brushing his fur and whispering words of comfort.
Finally, a rescue team arrived, surprised by their survival. Lily clutched Coco tightly, tears streaming down her face. “He’s family,” she told the rescuers firmly, and they agreed to take Coco with them. Back on the mainland, as the islanders slowly rebuilt their homes, Lily and Coco’s story spread far and wide. Their extraordinary bond, strengthened in the face of disaster, became a powerful testament to the mutual support between humans and animals.
